Abstract
Achieving a malaria-free world presents exciting scientific
challenges as well as overwhelming health, equity, and economic
benefits. WHO and countries are setting ambitious goals for
reducing the burden and eliminating malaria through the "Global
Technical Strategy" and 21 countries are aiming to eliminate
malaria by 2020. The commitment to achieve these targets should
be celebrated. However, the need for innovation to achieve these
goals, sustain elimination, and free the world of malaria is
greater than ever. Over 180 experts across multiple disciplines
are engaged in the Malaria Eradication Research Agenda (malERA)
Refresh process to address problems that need to be solved. The
result is a research and development agenda to accelerate
malaria elimination and, in the longer term, transform the
malaria community's ability to eradicate it globally.
